* ValuesResonance: Due a raising concern to environmental issues during the last years, the discussion about the effect mankind has on earth life are more likely to resonate with modern viewers.

* HarsherInHindsight: This anime was created at the turn of the millennium, and it makes a lot of dramatised and allegorical predictions about the kind of effect mankind has had on the earth coupled with the supposition of how natural disasters and destruction will become more prevalent in the future as nature attempts to "correct the imbalance". Despite the obviously fictional context, the suggestion of the potential of human suffering at the hands of natural disasters cuts ''very'' close to the bone, particularly in the wake of hurricane Katrina, the tidal wave in Haiti, the hurricane in Chille, cyclone Yasi, and, as of 2011, the earthquake and subsequent tidal wave and nuclear instability in Japan. It is fairly obvious from the outset that this anime isn't based on a pointedly cautionary warning or a "We told you so" type underlay - it more draws on a [[ContemplateOurNavels discussion of naturalistic ethics and principles in an existential context]], [[InHarmonyWithNature looking at the place of the human body and mind within the harmony of nature]] rather than anything else (with some '''''very''''' long [[AuthorTract Author Tracts]] and [[CharacterFilibuster Character Filibusters]] to that effect) - but in retrospect, it gains a far harsher backlighting.

* SugarWiki/SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The whole soundtrack is amazing. Unexpected thing, because the soundtrack was made by [[Music/YokoKanno Yoko]] [[Anime/CowboyBebop Freakin']] [[Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne Ka]][[Anime/MacrossFrontier nno]], but when "Kakusei" comes on during episode 8, well damn.

* AwesomeArt: Back then, it had some impressive animation - it shows.
